I am by no means an audiophile but I also didn't want cheapo junk speakers and I also wouldn't benefit from anything more expensive. I did alot of research and had a thread going on overclock dotnet. I gave myself a budget of $100 as I wanted better quality sound then cheap PC speakers and felt anything more than $100 for me and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference anyway. Originally I was looking at getting these Mackie CR3's: Mackie CR3, 3" Creative Reference Multimedia Monitors They have very good reviews, arent super large and appear to be high quality. While a minor thing, and not even close to the reason I chose the 1280T's, but I wasn't a fan of the green theme of the CR'3. My system is read and black themed, desk is dark brown wood grain, and most else is black. Someone in the forums I mentioned brought up these Edifier 1280T's and I had never heard of them before. They also had relatively few reviews here. The reviews they did have though were good, specifically from the other 2 customers who mention the CR3's as well. Not being real into audio I figured if people vouch for the sound quality of both then I should consider all other factors. The 1280T's are larger (4" vs 3") which depending on the space you have could be a plus or minus. For me I had enough room and figured if I could get bigger speakers for the same price I should consider it. Also the 1280T's have the controls on the side which I like, a elegant aesthetic to them that I think would fit in with more than the green of the CR3's, and they include a simple but useful remote. The 1280T's also have AUX RCA which I liked. The CR3's do have the ability to switch Right/Left however. I also like the front cover of the 1280T's. I just got the 1280T's setup and the quality was noticeable as I was taking them out of the box. They have that weight all quality electronics have to them. Everything was packed reasonably well and 0 damage to any items in the box. Got them hooked up in a minute or 2 to my PC and was blown away at the sound quality, even at lower volumes. One of my problems prior with a cheap bullet speaker was that dialog was hard to hear. Not with these the vocals/dialog do not get muddled by the bass or mids. Not being an audiophile the best I can do to describe the sound is to say its much more lifelike than any other speakers I have in my house or have heard when I'm out shopping. It sounds natural, not like I am listening to speakers. I am also hearing instruments and sounds that I did not before in various songs/media. I would 100% recommend these to anyone with the same budget and needs as me. It was also recommended to me that I get a better cable than what comes with the speakers. This is the cable I got and while generally the cable doesnt matter to me the quality of this cable also impressed me. Mediabridge 3.5mm Male to 2-Male RCA Adapter (12 Feet) - Step Down Design - (Part# MPC-35-2XRCA-12 ) I dont think you can go wrong with these. For what its worth Im sure the CR3's are not bad either, they may even be better in some ways, but I am very satisfied with the 1280T's.

I'm writing this review on behalf of my family member who needed a new pair of speakers for their PC. Since their old one died after almost a decade of use, we were looking around for a good pair that will work, and deliver the requirements they were looking for in a pair of speakers. Thankfully, a friend of mine overseas recommended to us Edifier, citing them as one of the best for good quality speakers. Their recommendation was spot on. The minute we got it in our hands, we noticed something nice with this setup: it came with a workable remote, and it hooked up nicely to the PC. The size was acceptable for the desk the PC was on, and the sound... that was the best part. The remote allowed control over the sound, which speaker it came from, and volume of the sound with ease. I mentioned the sound was the part; the sound was beautiful and did not miss a beat. My family member tested this by playing a couple of songs on YouTube (we made sure the songs were HQ before playing), and you could hear every note crystal clear, and it was just right for my family member. We've had this for a few months now, and it has yet to slow down on its delivery of sound for various music videos and podcasts. Edifier did not disappoint on the construction of these speakers, and the price was just right, so if you find a set at a reasonable price, get it. Don't sleep on it. Do research on them beforehand, of course, but normally, anything from this company is not cheap, but it is worth every penny. Hope this helps!

Edit update: June 4th 2018. First I am raising the speakers from 3 1\2 to 5. Let me state how important it is to let these wonderful little speakers brake in. I can not believe the increase in sound quality and highs, mids and lows in just a matter of 2 days. I decided not to delete my review below as I can imagine that many people will have the same issues I had below. You have thirty days to return these to amazon and unless you have a another serious issue with these then please give them time to brake in. I am now very pleased and highly recommend them to anyone. 06-02-2018, First I want to state what I do not expect from a hundred set of speakers: I do not expect them to thump. For gosh sake if you want them to thump then spend the money and get bigger speakers. Would you expect a hundred dollars set of car speakers to thump? No you would not. I also do not expect to get more then what I paid for. For example, I did not pay extra for Blue Tooth therefore I do not expect the speakers to have Blue Tooth. Please read the specs before you buy. I do not expect a 42 watt amp to pump out 200 watts and I do not expect to turn Edifiers all the way up and for them not to distort. I guess I want those that read this review to understand that I what I want is to be reasonable with my review. Pros: Packed and protected very well and everything was present and accounted for. Who ever boxed these did it with care. Easy and intuitive to hook up. There is no reason to pay extra for a pro to hook these up for you, seriously a five year old could do it. Plenty of power for a computer or a small room with a nice warm base sound. The Edifier R1280T's have a nice solid and reasonably heavy feel to them. Unlike many others who have reviewed these, I like the small remote. Bottom line is the speakers look really good and go well will my old school teachers oak desk. The wood paneling on the speakers looks good and close to real. Cons: Speakers lack clear highs. I own the Sounblaster X-Fi sound card, so I am not using a cheap sound device built into the motherboard. My aux RCA jack on the Edifier speakers is also hooked up to my old Teac real to real, which produces outstanding analog sound, so my source is clean. Even after going in and adjusting my treble in my sound cards drivers in my computer, the highs just could not clear up and sound crisp. This is a major con and one of the reasons why I am on the fence to recommend these speakers, besides my disappointment. Last, the base and treble controls just do not do much other then spin. There may be a very small amount of difference between moving the controls up and down but the controls do nothing to help boost my highs. Bottom line, all speakers need to be herd before you buy and all us old stereo dudes know this. However in today's buying environment that is very hard to do. The speakers do not sound bad and in fact I am going to keep them, I just wish they were more clear. Recommend If you are not that picky. However, if you are then maybe you need to look at the, two hundred and fifty dollar or higher, pair of Edifiers. 3 1\2 stars leaning more towards the 4 star side. I will follow up if need be.
